Do schools actually ask this from their students?

[-] bleistift2@feddit.de 31 points 2 years ago

I’m not sure, but this feels like it’s edging on sexual harassment.

[-] Entheon@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

It definitely feels wrong. Unless they have a very good reason it's not necessary.

Right? It's super gross that a school is that invasive into a person's private space.

I mean, sure seems like this is just ragebait and the “school” is more likely a university health center asking an optional question on a new patient form.

Florida's form linked by that article isn’t the same as OP’s. But yeah, that practice is fucked and point taken, OP’s could be from a high school in another state.

If an educational facility is asking you these questions, I would argure this is the best response

Dried blood looks more like a chocolate stain. I’m not sure they would get the point.

What country? I'd definitely give it more benefit of the doubt in Australia than in southeastern USA. COULD be an honest attempt to gather anonymous data that is going to be used in sensible ways.

Florida schools will no longer ask student-athletes to share their menstrual histories in order to play high school sports

Wow, fuck that.

[-] ivenoidea@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Well you know, if they don’t menstruate then that means they’re evil gay trans drag communists and shouldn’t be allowed to destroy the competitive integrity of high school PE.

It's not an honest attempt to gather anonymous data. There is n9 need for anyone yo ask these questions on a form other than for medical treatment or research where this info is directly relevant.

[-] ichmagrum@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I mean, that has already been answered 12 hours before your comment. But if we really didn't know the context, it's not an unreasonable assumption that it's for research purposes; handing out questionnaires in school is by far the easiest (and thus cheapest) ways to gather data (anonymous or otherwise) on teenagers.
